California was one of a few states that had not appropriated government funds to support civil legal services for the poor.
Legal services programs helped low income clients facing critical legal needs, but they were often underfunded and understaffed.
issued its call to action, many of these recommendations still require significant work.
However, the state of California has made a great deal of progress toward the goal of providing adequate legal aid to low-income residents.
Through individual representation, legal services advocates have actively monitored the broad impact on the poor of legislative and economic changes.
These are areas of practice with new statutes and regulations, new agencies and stakeholders, which require the expertise of trained and dedicated legal aid professionals.
E18 I argue that not only is it important to identify religious mandates for environmental action through models such as that of kinship, but also that exploring the wisdom tradition from a Christian perspective can serve to clarify ways forward where decision making is difficult.
In the Christian community itself a recovery of wisdom and justice as virtues can serve to raise the importance of environmental concern, since it is rooted in an understanding of God as creator and the idea of natural law.
I suggest that a shift in understanding of ordering is commensurate with a new ethical approach speaks of the Logos acting in the world in terms that resemble very closely the way Wisdom is spoken about in the Old Testament (Deane-Drummond 2003).

On Wednesday, August 22, twenty-five student members of Californians for Justice completed a Youth Leadership Academy and kicked off campaigns to fight for racial justice in their school districts.
The high school students from San Diego, San Jose, and Long Beach began the summer academy in June, right at the start of their summer vacations.
The summer-long training program has combined political education, organizing skills, and planning for the upcoming campaign.
Starting with intensive three day trainings in both northern and southern California, students learned outreach skills such as doorknocking and phonebanking, as well as grassroots fundraising skills.
With weekly academy meetings throughout the summer there was also time for learning more about racial justice in education and other social justice issues.

This study is the first of five reports that will be published this year by Building Blocks for Youth, a multi-year initiative to protect minority youth in the justice system and promote rational and effective juvenile justice policies.
The analysis compares the proportions of white, African-American, Hispanic and Asian/Others in the total juvenile (age 10-17) population and in the total number of juvenile arrestees by offense category with the respective proportions of their transfers to adult court and sentencings to a California Youth Authority (CYA) facility.
minority youth offenders are much more likely than white youth offenders to be sentenced to incarceration in California Youth Authority facilities.

To increase democratic accountability, the European Parliament should have codecision in most areas of justice and home affairs, and the European Court of Justice should gain full powers to review legislation concerning internal security.
Justice and home affairs (JHA) has become the EU's most active policy area, but one of its least known or understood.
In addition to introducing measures to combat illegal immigration and making a further push towards a common policy on asylum, the EU's leaders endorsed a study from the Italian government on closer co-operation among the member-states' border guards.
Now that the EU's external borders are effectively common to all memberstates, the EU must work rapidly towards a consistently high standard of protection along the entire frontier.

The juvenile justice system---as distinct from the criminal justice system---was begun in 1899 by a group of women concerned with the care and treatment of children in the justice system; their emphasis was on accountability, rehabilitation and the special circumstances of youth.
Understanding the context of girls and delinquency requires not only a knowledge of their histories but a review of female adolescent development.

Information Clearinghouse has prepared this fact sheet to summarize correctional system statistics, research, and drug treatment information, as well as information regarding ongoing projects addressing drug abuse treatment in the criminal justice system.
4 Also, in 1998, an estimated 26% (152,000) of all inmates under local supervision were incarcerated for drug offenses.5 This increase in the drug offender prison population mirrors the steady increase in arrests for drug offenses.
Through TASC, some drug offenders are diverted from the criminal justice system and into community-based supervision, others receive treatment as part of probation, and still others are assigned to transitional services as they leave an institutional program.
